    7mm WSM Redding bushing size after neck turning

    I was using a Forster FL resizing die for my non-neck turned Winchester 7mm WSM brass but then decided to try neck turning just to even out the necks to get more consistency. Before the first firing after neck turning, my Forster FL resizing die gave just enough tension to hold the bullet, but...

    7wsm w/ hornady oal gauge

    had a quick question for you guys. I just recently picked up a hornady oal gauge and comprator. My normal load was 7 wsm with an OAL of 2.965" w/ a 175 smk bullet. I was getting hit or miss accuracy (.295-1 moa) mainly due to me loading on OAL vs o give I am assuming. So I use the OAL gauge as...

    Having doubts about my 7WSM build, Need advice.

    I have everything for my 7 build (Surgeon RSR action, AICS stock, moddified mag to feed WSM) except for the barrel which is on order from ROCK. So I have had some time to do as much research on 7WSM and better options. The problem is I jumped the gun and bought all the dies (redding comp set)...

    7wsm 162 Amax, 4831SC Max Load

    I am trying to hit some real velocity with a 22.5" barrelled 7wsm. So far with 64 gns of 4831sc under a 162 Amax, I have reached a consistent 2835, without pressure--and great accuracy. I want to juice it up a bit more and I'm curious as to what others have found to be a max pressure load using...

    Why are they selling their 7WSM's

    I saw 4 7WSM's for sale in the firearms for sale section.I've never owned one but they look to be ballistic champions. Why do you suppose that these individuals have decided to sell these but keep their other chamberings??? Steve

    What Primers do you use in your 7WSM, LR or LR MAG

    I keep hearing that its better to use LR primers in 7WSM instead or LR MAG. Please vote for what you use and please explain why.

    7wsm more speed!!!

    I got my 7wsm up and going. I chronoed my load of 66 grains of H1000, with 180 bergers @2.995 oal. I am only getting 2850fps. I am going to try 66.6, but I am already showing pressure signs and was really hoping for 2950. I didn't want to use R22 because its hot as hell here. Any suggestions?

    Range Report 7wsm load development

    I made it out to test some loads with the new 7wsm Surgeon built by GAP. This is going to be one sick stick once load development is done. When I first got the gun from George I tried some of the Corbon loaded 7wsm stuff and some hand rolled stuff with 64 grains of 4831sc with 215M and...
